Same here, awful decision to make, especially worse since I repeated the decision 4 more times 😬🤦

Basically just stick the hosepipe into every possible orifice & start blasting Top of the thermostat housing is the sensor for the gauge The 1 pointing towards the bulkhead is a fan switch And the one pointed towards the wheel arch is for the ecu

The rust is pretty common inside the coolant passages and it's especially worse when people use tap water My preferred method for flushing these is fill up with the cheapest nastiest shittiest concentrate coolant you can possibly find, then drive it for a bit, drain it, flush with a hosepipe...

To quote the advert "It was previously owned for a number of years by a TV / film production company and they had it resprayed from original brooklands green to the champagne gold it is now and I believe it is the only 16v in this colour as it wasn't an original 19 16v executive colour. I was...

Good question 🤣 There is a guy on one of the Facebook groups that knows how to decode it, I can't remember his name though 🤦‍♂️

As for the metal repairs, sills are still widely available, the jacking points are as well but I only know of the ones available in the UK and obviously Bordanova for the rear quarters. The inner sill structures will be the biggest issue with the repairs, you can use Renault 5 GTT repair parts...

The VIN is also stamped onto the suspension tower on the passenger side of the engine bay and I'm fairly sure the colour code for the paint is part of that number

710 or 714? If it was a 714 I'd spit on it in disgust because of it's F4 similarities :p

The paint finish on the bumper looks just as good if not better than what it was from the factory so you're all good 👌 As for the brake discs, since they're nla you can use 172 discs which are 280mm or bin the caliper spacers and drop back down to the standard discs

The reg is familiar but buggered if I know or can remember anything more about it though 😂

I've recently bought a wet & dry vacuum from SGS for my workshop f**k knows what features it's got but it's wheels are a nice colour match to my track car wheels 😁

IDE that's the bit I couldn't remember 🤣 I might be confusing the F5R with what's in a Scenic or Laguna 🤷‍♂️

They've got their own F7R that's a development of the Williams F7R (completely different cylinder head) and the later versions were different again (chain driven oil pump) which were eventually developed into the F4R The really late ones had a de-tuned F4R in them, 140bhp iirc

The engine bay on the black one is so clean & tidy but the white one makes that look s**t in comparison, it's cleaner than any of my dinner plates 🤣

This is the low pressure pipe from the reservoir to the pump, 172 Cup version is the bottom one Sorry but I've not got a pic of high pressure pipes

Not off the top of my head. I do know that when fitting 172 brakes & hubs onto a mk1 some people have the stubs machined so they fit the mk1 shocks & I think it's something like 2mm off each side

If you're saying it's like that, it means that I'll deffo lose my rag & just set fire to the car 🤣 Sounds like I'm committed to taking the box off..................................yay :cry:

Drilling the holes wont be of any use either, the 172 stubs are thicker than what's in my pic so they still wont physically fit

When going into 5th gear at anything above 40mph I'm getting a lovely little crunch so need to work out a plan to fix it. Is it possible to fix it still in the car or if the box has to come off the car can it still be fixed just from removing the end cap or is it a full blown split the box...

Aaaaahhh the good old days :love: I paid a bit more but my best 1 was having the MOT done in Bristol while the car was in hundreds of pieces in Nottingham 🤣

It used to be £20 but inflation is a b*****d :cry:

I usually spend an extra £30 that sits in the centre console for the tester

Here's the car I was most impressed with seeing at Bedford today, not seen one for years

On 1st glance I thought it said fetish green 🫣

I spent a good 2 minutes looking at that pic wondering how the f**k you managed to change the colour of it before I finally zoomed in 🤣

That's exactly how I had to remove the old shocks on my Cup in order to fit new ones
